Man United injury, suspension news vs. Fulham: Patrick Dorgu, Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo, Lisandro Martinez updates
Manchester United will be bidding to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup when they welcome Fulham to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Devils will enter the contest off the back of a 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town in the Premier League, with head coach Ruben Amorim securing a much-needed home success.
Man United are the holders of the FA Cup, beating Manchester City in last year’s final, and the 20-time English champions are aiming to lift the trophy for the 14th time this season, which would be a competition record alongside Arsenal.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United’s injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with Fulham, who have never won the FA Cup but did reach the final in 1975.
